Katy Perry Talks Rihanna, Zooey Deschanel And Josh Groban Rumors

Nothing was off limits in our first sit-down interview with the 'I Kissed a Girl' singer.




MTV News had been trying to sit down with Katy Perry for months — at the Grammys, during South by Southwest, anywhere and everywhere. The problem was, things just kept coming up. Video shoots and TV appearances. Schedules were shuffled, reformatted, then torn up and forgotten about. This happened more times than you could imagine.


This is sort of the way things are for Katy Perry these days. She's sold a million albums, notched three hits on the Billboard Hot 100, had breakups and feuds, become a sex symbol and a lightning rod ... all at roughly the same time, and all seemingly overnight. Everyone wants to talk to her and everyone wants her on their show or at their party or their red carpet. Getting time with her is not an easy task.
But, after months of trying, we finally got our sit-down. Perry chatted with MTV News' Kim Stolz here in New York, and it was worth the wait. Rather than avoiding questions or having her handlers waiting in the wings, Perry was an open book. She answered anything and everything, laughing and joking about her rise to stardom, her plans for a new album and just how she deals with life in the spotlight. It was rather refreshing, to be honest.
We've already published a pair of stories from the interview — Perry talking about her plans to stop kissing girls on her next album, and addressing the rumors that she had "reached out" to fellow singer Rihanna in the wake of her incident with boyfriend Chris Brown. The response to both was so great that we decided we should just go ahead and show you even more of our chat.
So, here's our favorite pop tart, unfiltered and unafraid — weighing in on her love life, her career, the Rihanna situation, and, uh, actress Zooey Deschanel. It's Katy Perry: Raw.

Zooey Deschanel Shills for the Fabric of Our Lives (Video)

">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350">

It's easy to forget, given her near ubiquity in indie-land, that most people don't know Zooey Deschanel. They might confuse her with Katy Perry, or vaguely recognize her from one of her very bad movies (cough, The Happening, cough, Tin Man, cough, Failure to Launch). But Deschanel's commercial breakthrough might be around the corner, thanks to this new ad that finds her singing an original song about cotton, aka the fabric of our lives. As far as shills go, this is pretty rough (creating an original song for a fabric ad?), but it's still somehow less egregious than most. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe because the song sort of sounds like a She & Him track, thus a song Deschanel would perform in a live setting? Or maybe because I'm willing to forgive her because that She & Him album was actually okay, and not as awful as basically every other movie star's foray into music.

Leighton Meester and the Suit of Many Colours

"If I flash my bra at you, Fashion Police, will it distract you from the suit? No? Damn."

Looks like multicoloured suit crimes are on the increase: last week we arrested Katy Perry for wearing an outfit we can still see when we close our eyes, so vivid were its colours, and now poor Leighton Meester finds herself similarly attired, in this Alexander McQueen creation.

Leighton won't be joining Katy in the Fashion Police jail, however, because this image was taken for the New York Times magazine, making the stylist for the shoot the true criminal here, and Leighton but a helpless victim.

Following on so quickly after what we think of as The Katy Perry Incident, not to mention today's Wear or Die selection, however, we have to admit, we're concerned. Who will be the next victim of the Multicoloured Suits? Where will it all end? And what on earth would Chuck Bass think?

Katy Perry in Philadelphia

‘I feel, like, 110 percent of everything in life,” Katy Perry proclaimed on Sunday night during her sold-out show at the Theater of Living Arts. That declaration came by way of introducing “Mannequin,” a song from her 2008 hit album “One of the Boys” that she described as being about “wanting to strangle a boy out of a coma.”
Indeed, the Hello Katy tour that brought Perry to the Philadelphia area for the third time, but her first as a headliner, backed up her mathematical claim with a performance that was determinedly over the top.
“I keep coming back, and it’s not because of that damn bell,” she told her audience of mostly teens, ‘tweens and their moms. “It’s because of you.”
The TLA is a far smaller venue than Perry presumably could have played. The 24-year-old pastor’s daughter’s debut album went double platinum and spawned a string of slightly naughty Top 10 radio and ringtone hits, including “Ur So Gay,” “Hot N Cold” and the ubiquitous “I Kissed a Girl.” And at the TLA, everything was a little outsized.
That went for the giant blue-eyed kitten - “Kitty Purry,” named after the singer’s cat - that loomed to Perry’s left, and the bigger-than-beach-balls blow-up fruit that cluttered the stage. A forlorn inflatable banana lay on the ground in front of the drum kit, looking more like a banana slug.
The ginormous prop in the shape of a tube of lipstick did get put to use, however, in the titillating “cherry ChapStick” product-placement line in “I Kissed a Girl.” Perry accurately described her hit as “the most overplayed song of 2008” as she closed out the efficiently paced 75-minute show with the most ardently sung audience sing-along in a night full of them.

Unfortunately, Perry’s preference for the grand gesture also extends to her music. She doesn’t sing so much as shout, bouncing up and down in a skin-tight leopard skin minidress (before changing into a low-cut feline catsuit, complete with tail and pussy-cat ears). She and her white-suited four-piece band, looking like wannabe Tom Wolfes, bashed out her hits with an unfailingly heavy hand, amping up the rock-guitar quotient of her snappy pop tunes.
Even when she dismissed the band for an acoustic “Thinking of You,” she did a poor job of modulating her voice or diminishing the volume of her delivery for emotional effect. The show was in a small venue, but there was nothing intimate about it.
Some of Perry’s hits are simply too catchy to resist - well, “Hot N Cold” is, anyway. But while she’s sometimes witty, she’s never subtle - “I hope you hang yourself with your H&M scarf” is how “Ur So Gay” kicks off, with a follow-up rhyme that can’t be printed in these demure pages.
It came as no surprise, then, when she announced that her favorite band in the world was the always-melodramatic Queen. Perry doesn’t have a smidgen of Freddy Mercury’s style, however, not to mention his vocal chops. But for her first encore she energetically covered “Don’t Stop Me Now” as if she had no intention of letting anything stand in her way, before finally playing the overplayed song that the guy next to me - screaming out “I kissed a girl and I liked it and I wished it was you, Katy!” - so desperately wanted to hear.

I Met Katy Perry And I Liked It

When my supervisor asked if I wanted to go to a shoot with Katy Perry, I’ll admit that I was pretty pumped. Not that I’m Perry’s #1 fan, by any means, but I have definitely rocked out to “I Kissed a Girl” more times than I can count (you know you’re guilty too!) and was excited to meet the pretty face with the cool outfits behind the song.
As I piled into a cab with the rest of the small crew we were allowed to bring over to the EMI headquarters, I imagined Perry would be this totally awesome, down-to-earth sort of chick that I could grab a beer with. But my first impression? Not quite what I had imagined.
Perry walked into the lobby from the room where she had just finished an interview, and proceeded to shout (jokingly), “I can’t do this anymore!” She then picked up a copy of Paper magazine — she’s this month’s cover girl — and threw it on the floor, saying, “Ugh! Who is this? What a diva!”

It was definitely amusing to watch Perry poke fun at herself. However, once we had our 20 minutes of exclusive time with Perry, I watched as Kim Stolz asked Perry about everything from her current tour to her breakup with Travis McCoy to whether the song that made her popular had any truth value (yes, she has kissed a girl … and liked it). She became more what I thought she’d be like as the interview progressed, even though her answers to some questions made me wonder how many times she had used the same line.
I had a couple of minutes of my own with Perry, so I introduced myself as an intern and she was more than willing to offer her opinion about those in my shoes.
With her fist raised, Perry noted, “I love interns, because interns become CEOs. Yeah!”
Thanks, Katy, I hope you’re right.
Beyond the makeup, expensive-looking black heels with gold embellishments and talk about her new house in Malibu, California, Perry came off as just a normal girl — albeit one who has made it big in the music biz.
In the end, I liked Katy Perry. Her initial actions may have thrown me off, but I’m sure if I had an album certified platinum and chart-topping singles, I’d get tired of all the interviews too.

Katy Perry / April 7, 2009 / New York (The Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza)

Katy Perry at Irving Plaza in New York City.

Katy Perry was surrounded by giant, inflatable fruit and a Hello Kitty doll when she hit the stage at New York City's Irving Plaza Tuesday night for her "Hello Kitty" tour, but it was ultimately her cheeky performance and banter that sweetened up the sold-out crowd.

After an opening set by The Daylights, the 24-year-old pop singer kicked off the second night of her three-date run at the venue in signature form--wearing a short purple dress, singing "Fingerprints" into a sparkly, pink microphone and strutting to the song's lyrics: "I'm leaving you my legacy/I gotta make my mark/I gotta run it hard/I want you to remember me/I'm leaving my fingerprints."

Though it was a school night, Perry's teen fans were out in force, backing up Perry on every note of "Hot N Cold" and "UR So Gay" but saving special enthusiasm for her latest single, "Thinking of You," during which Perry performed a guitar solo. Others yelled out, "You're so beautiful," and "Marry me," while one lucky fan standing in the front was given a pink guitar that appeared to be broken. "We can't use it," said Perry.

At one point, the singer surprised the bright-eyed crowd when she motioned towards the Hello Kitty doll and said, "This is the biggest p***y you will ever see on stage." Later she fondled the inflatable banana as her young fans looked on. But Perry's performance also had its earnest moments. She talked openly about growing up with pastor parents and singing in a church, adding that "Christian Skate Night" was the only time when she was able to mingle with boys her age.

Perry reemerged for her encore sporting a pink-and-black leopard pantsuit and kitty ears and performed a cover of Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now," and then awarded fans with her long-awaited breakthrough hit, "I Kissed A Girl," which was No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 for seven weeks last summer. Leaning in close to the crowd, Perry sang, "I kissed a girl just to try it/I hope my boyfriend don't mind it," toying with her fans until the very last note.

Setlist:

"Fingerprints"
"One of the Boys"
"Hot N Cold"
"Self Inflicted"
"UR So Gay"
"Thinking of You" (Solo)
"Mannequin"
"Waking Up in Vegas"
"Lost"
"I Think I'm Ready"
"If You Can Afford Me"

Encore:

"Don't Stop Me Now"
"I Kissed a Girl"
